LEFT: No, you're not imagining things — that is a log truck dwarfed on the right. Although this load does not show the equipment Conoco Phillips or Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil Canada plan to ship via U.S. 12 in 2010-'11, its size is comparable.

BOTTOM: Note man on the right and pickup on the left. In the center is one of the smallest two Conoco Phillips' shipments at the Port of Lewiston.
